With my background as a teacher, school administrator, and parenting coach, you have my personal, 100% money-back guarantee that this class will save you AT LEAST 20 hours of research time. I have never seen this information compiled in one place before, and I am so thrilled to share this with you. This workshop is specially designed to help you find THE schooling situation that is right for your family!

The Alternative and Traditional Schooling Options class is for you, if:

you want to start your child’s schooling experience off right

your child has been having a tough time in his or her current school and you think a change is in order

your child is at the age of transitioning into grade school, middle school, jr. high, or high school, and you are overwhelmed with the choices available

you are trying to choose a homeschooling style

you are hoping this can happen for you…

“We are almost a month into the new school year at the new school, and… I don’t know whether to ‘cry’ from relief or ‘jump up and down’ for joy!?! Touch wood, this year has been a totally different experience from last year and I mean totally!! Just in Friday’s school agenda…(my son) wrote ‘I’m doing good in school at working’. What a difference from last year… finally we feel like (my son) is somewhere where he is treated ‘normally’ and not like there ‘is something wrong with him’.” C.V.

Or this: “She loves her school! Yesterday she even asked me if she could go every day, even Saturdays!” M.E.

FAQ

My child is still a baby. When should I take this class?

In my experience, parents feel much more confident and comfortable when they have a firm grasp on the schooling choices and have even finalized their own shortlist or are on the waitlist for their favourite school. Many preschools, that start at age 2.5 or 3, have waiting lists years ahead, so if you want to have all the options available to you, it's best to start early.

My child is a teenager. Will this class be helpful?

This class will help you figure out where to find the options that are available to your teen and help you evaluate those options based on educational style. Many parents of teens have attended this class and have found the information very helpful.

My child has special needs. Will this class be helpful?

This class will help you figure out where to find the options that are available to your child and help you evaluate those options based on educational style. Many parents of children with special needs have attended this class and have found the information very helpful.

I am considering homeschooling. Will this class be helpful?

If you are trying to decide which pedagogy (teaching or educational style) will best suit your family as homeschoolers, this class will be super helpful. Many homeschoolers have attended this class and said that it helped them have more confidence to homeschool, and helped them feel good about how they chose to homeschool.

Lisa Kathleen of Full Circle Parenting

Are you a conscious, proactive parent, wanting to grow with your child?

Would you like to know, in your heart, that you are doing the right things to help your child develop more self-confidence, respect, joy, interdependence, and mental and emotional health, long-term?

Would you like to feel confident that the strong connection you are building with your child right now will support you and your child through the teen years and beyond?

Full Circle Parenting works with parents who want to focus on long-term, relationship-building solutions that are key for their children’s development as they are working through discipline, sleep, potty-training, school choices, food, or other issues with their children. They want to focus on the joy and fun in parenting, but sometimes feel stuck.

Many of the parents we work with feel uncomfortable with some recommended parenting practices, such as leaving babies to cry themselves to sleep, or using time-outs, or reward systems to teach skills or values, but they don't know how to do things another way. They sometimes feel like they are spending more time in a power struggle than they are enjoying being a parent.

The parents we work with don't want to be authoritarian, or permissive, and they DO want to clarify their own beliefs about parenting, and formulate a plan to address specific issues AND nurture their relationship with their child.
